Just for Kicks: 6 Watches That Celebrate Soccer
The so-called “beautiful game” is what we Americans call soccer and what nearly everyone else calls football. Some of the world’s luxury sports-watch makers have gotten in on the excitement, with special-edition watches specially devoted to the sport and its players. Hublot �� headed by rabid f��tbol fan Jean-Claude Biver �� became official timekeeper for the FIFA World Cup in 2014.
